Their idea and words were shared among the business social website as a tool for others to succeed and learn. And now, you can write for LinkedIn, influence others and create content that once was only allowed for top professionals around the world.

How To Win Friends and Influence People

When Dale Carnegie wrote one of the first best-selling self-help books, he wrote it as a recipe for people to find success in their personal and professional life. The book sold millions and has become a timeless classic.

Similar to Dale Carnegie, you too have the opportunity to influence people and make new social connections. Publishing a successful long-form post can provide new opportunities and open doors, which can lead to more endorsements, connections and followers.

In addition to adding certifications, test scores, honors and awards, it is now possible to create new posts from your profile page, which will initially be distributed to your connections.

Creating a new post requires a 698 x 400 pixel image to be added as a feature picture. Naturally, an appealing title is also needed. Images no larger than 10 Mb can be added, as well as embedded video links from trusted sources. Once finished, you can then add tags to better distribute your content in the hope that it is read by more people. You can also also easily edit your posts, as LinkedIn does not provide editors.
